Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

While the main reception area of the hotel was modern and air conditioned this did not seem to be translated onto the guest levels, which were a bit shabby in places. While the bedroom was clean & comfortable, it was stuffy, with little ventilation and no air conditioning.
Its relatively close proximity to Central Park, the Sightseeing Bus Routes, museums and art venues

The rooms seem a bit worn, especially the carpet. Even though it is a 4-star property, you have to ask for things like glasses or an ice bucket as those things are not in the room.
The room was spacious for a NY hotel and was extremely clean. The small "store" in the lobby was a nice surprise and was very convenient. All staff was very responsive and helpful. The on property restaurant is very nice, with good food and a lovely bar.

Room 1004 needs a makeover and as others have said, the carpets needs replacing. TV was out of order and the electrical outlet in the bathroom had tripped out it seems as it was working previously. AC is noisy, so could not keep this on at night which meant that room was warm at night. Room needs a mirror by the table.
Clean hotel in a great location. Staff were pleasant and efficient. Bed was comfortable. 5 head power shower in the bathroom was a nice addition.

The room upon entering was stuffy. The thermostat was essentially useless as I couldn't detect any flow of air, but I was able to open the window to let fresh air in the room.
I liked the bathroom soap/body wash/conditioner availability and stand up shower. Otherwise the room was clean and a great location to MTA. Also close to restaurants and stores.

I would not classify this as a 4 star hotel, it is closer to a 3 star, it's comfortable, but lacks 4 star amenities. The furnishings are a bit tired and need updating. No kettle or coffee maker in the room
Really liked the location and that we could store our luggage for the day before we could check in later. Our room was clean and comfortable and at the back of the hotel, so quieter than I believe those at the front on the street. Shower had good pressure and didn't have to wait long for hot water.

Didn't like that the junior suite did not have a mini-fridge or a microwave. Also, the room had two TVs but none of them were connected to the internet or could have streaming applications. The hotel corridor from the elevator to the room is really narrow.
The location is convenient with a lot of good restaurants around. The junior suite we stayed had a big bathroom. I liked that the hotel was able to hold our luggage after we checked out since our flight was later in the day.

There were constructions nearby and we could hear their noise the whole night which we didn’t appreciate while trying to sleep off jetlag. I advise staying on higher floors …

The rooms need major updating. The fabric headboard was stained, ripped, and pulling away from the frame. There was a large burn hole in the carpet in which you could see the concrete floor. The window shade was tattered, and the cheap chain to raise it was broken. It had been kind of fixed, so it only raised the blind about a third of the way up. We also heard the front desk staff laughing about how they had over booked a room and when the people arrived they wouldn't have a place to stay.
The location was fantastic. They held our luggage until check in for no fee.

The sink in the bathroom is minute with no shelf for toiletries. Also no towel bars at all. Only four hangers in the wardrobe. The lobby looks barren and unwelcoming. Thankfully the staff were the opposite. The view is miserable.
Size of the room and bed. Ease to get to the lobby from the 8th floor, because the hotel has only 10 floors. The location is excellent for midtown galleries and especially Carnegie Hall. The shower is exellent.
